Visiting Artist in JP: Jamie Kendrioski

As we prepare for our upcoming artist reception, part of our Visiting Artist Series, we're thrilled to introduce the talented Jamie Kendrioski, who will be showcasing his incredible works at our Jamaica Plain office. Join us on Thursday, July 18th, from 5:30 PM to 7 PM, to experience his unique perspectives and creative expressions. Here's a glimpse into Jamie's fascinating background and artistic journey.

Jamie Kendrioski: Abstract Inspirations

Jamie Kendrioski, a native Ohioan, moved to Boston in 2010 with his now husband, Greg. They live in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood, where Jamie serves on the JP Artists Association steering committee and is an active member of the vibrant arts community. Over the years, Jamie has showcased his art in galleries, private businesses, solo exhibits, and group shows.

Jamie first put paint to canvas in college and immediately fell in love with the process. He painted sporadically for about 16 years, but in 2018, with the encouragement and support of friends, he became re-energized. Jamie paints with oils and acrylics, enjoying the distinct aspects of each medium. He is particularly drawn to abstract styles, often beginning a painting without a clear idea of what will emerge. This spontaneous approach allows him to find joy and relaxation in mixing colors, moving paint around, and watching forms and textures take shape. For Jamie, painting is an opportunity to shut out the rest of the world, get a little messy, and have fun.

Jamie holds a BA in studio arts and advertising/public relations, and an MA in Education, both from Marietta College. He currently works full-time in higher education administration, balancing his professional life with his passion for art.

Jamie's abstract art invites viewers to immerse themselves in the fluidity of colors and shapes, encouraging personal interpretation and emotional connection. His work is a testament to the power of creativity and the joy it brings.

Join us to celebrate Jamie Kendrioski's art and get to know the artist behind the canvas. We look forward to seeing you at our Jamaica Plain office on Thursday, July 18th, from 5:30 PM to 7 PM. Jamie's artwork will be on display from July 8th to August 31st at 34 South St, Jamaica Plain.
